it's kind of like a lollapalooza of politics. i will take president obama at face value. he is thanking hillary clinton. she's not just any secretary of state. she's high profile. but, yeah, there's probably some four-letter words being uttered from joe biden's residence last night. >> maybe so. let's talk about hillary clinton's tenure as secretary of state. steve craw from "60 minutes" pressed hillary clinton about her tenure, and she wasn't able to point out any huge, giant policy changes, l.z. >> no. but you know what, to be quite honest, i really can't think of any policy change that's come from a secretary of state in the last few. i don't think it's as high profile of a position to the american people as it is to those within this junket of politics and those who cover it. so it is difficult to really pinpoint one significant thing she has done or her predecessors. with that being said, though, i will give her credit for an amazing speech that she delivered equating the rights of lesbian, gay, transgender people with human rights. when she delivered that speech, it
